Dangerous pathogens can be picked
up by food handlers handling raw
meats, bins, dirty
equipment, door
handles, phones and
even computer
keyboards. There is
also an inherent risk of
the spread of
pathogens by the
hands of food handlers
who are, or have been sick with food
borne disease, where, the carriage
and spread of very low numbers of
some bacterial cells and foodborne
viruses are enough to infect the
consumer.

When Deb Group wished to
endorse its claim that OxyBAC
foaming soap range is a safe and
effective antibacterial hand wash for
use in any food handling environment,
it approached HACCP
International to certify the
food safety characteristics
of the range.

An in-depth product
and facility evaluation was
performed to establish
and verify the claims that
Deb Group wanted to
make for OxyBAC, and certification
was awarded.
